The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.
I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.
If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.
I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!
The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.
If you could change anything about yourself physically what would you change? Why?
If I had been asked this question when I was much younger I could have given you a list.
In my plumper days I’d have wanted to be thinner. After I’d had my babies I desperately hated my stretch marks. My hair has always been frizzy and when I was a teenager I would have given anything to have sleek, straight, smooth hair.
Of course being 80 years old the list is different, and all to do wth physicality. I’d change my arthritic left foot for a new one for a start. I like to get rid of a few wrinkles, and my extremely thin skin caused from having to take steroids daily would definitely be changed to nice smooth thick skin.
So I’ve learned to accept my crooked teeth as part of my look, at least they’re all mine.
My stretch marks are a reminder of my pregnancies and my hair actually is easier to deal with than the flyaway straight hair I desired so long ago.
